Three persons have been arrested in connection with an attack on a Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB) Bullion van at Maame Krobo in the Affram Plains South District of the Eastern Region.
The incident, which occurred on Monday, led to the death of the driver of the van, whilst a policeman escorting the van, sustained gunshot wounds.

He said the robbery operation failed because the police officer on escorting the van exchanged fire with the attackers.
The deceased driver, and the wounded police officer, have been identified as David Sarpong and Frederick Adei respectively.
“We’ve arrested three people so far. We don’t know the motive behind for now. There’s something unfoilding and we are seriously working so we need to hold on a little before we can disclose. We’ve made a very serious headway and we are sending them to Koforidua on Wednesday to continue the investigation,” he said.
